Re: 01/27/2007 Game Thread 43: Pacers vs Raptors

Pacers get screwed over by the officials again. Thats three absolutely inexusably bad calls in the first half. WHY? I watch a lot of basketball and all the worst calls go against this team, I swear to God.

How many of our last few shots were taken by Tinsley? I thought he had a few bad sequences there at the end. Hopefully he picks it up in the second.

Which sequence was bad?

I hope we turn loose marquise on them in the 3rd quarter, anybody that can drive to the basket is either going to get fouled (if the refs would call it) or a high percentage shot. If our team could make layups we'd be ahead by about 6 now, i'm watching the gamecast and I can remember at least 3 or 4 occurences of "player x misses layup"

On the other hand, we can just give JO the ball and watch him go to town on them, I've seen nothing to suggest they can stop him.

Re: 01/27/2007 Game Thread 43: Pacers vs Raptors

If that's a very good game, I'm declaring myself eligible for next year's draft.

But you're right. Something more worthy of mention in this game is our inability to stop dribble penetration. Oh wait, that's Tinsley too.

You're obviously more looking at the stats then the game,

yes, he's been unlucky on some shots, but his D has been good, (stopping Garba break, fouling Bosh and preventing the score)adn his TO's were passes that were great but not caught, not to mention a few passes that lead to the pass, and then some misses of very good passes.

That works too, I haven't been able to actually see the game but I'm willing to bet like every other team just collapses on him when he gets the ball, hence his 4 assists cause he learns to pass out. Anybody that calls JO selfish needs help.

He has had several Gretzky's. And I wouldn't say he's taking bad shots. Now, I wouldn't go so far as to say he's playing well, but there's a big difference between playing badly and missing shots. Just cause you're not making shots doesn't mean your not playing well. Sometimes the ball just don't go down.

I was really late realizing and remembering that this game was going to be free on tv... grrrr....

had set up taping some shows for my son on tvio.... grrrrr but got the game back on for the last few minutes of the half...

Tin's really didn't finish the half well.. yes he had a good few defensive plays.. getting the offensive foul and the other foul mentioned but he forced a really bad shot on the base line...

and I second the motion.. JO needs to see the ball every time on the post... from what I have watched he is unstopable... and frankly do not see any sign that bosh is better around the basket...

also how is it every time I watch the pacers.. only 4 min.. I see multiple obvious miss calls by the ref.... I knew it was bad but is it really this bad... the ball out of bounds totally missed.. and the offensive goal tend at the end totally missed....

You didn't think it was gonna be that easy, did you? ..... You know, for a second there, yeah, I kinda did.....
Silly rabbit..... Trix are for kids.

Yeah, I didn't realize Tinsley was having a bad game until I looked at his stats. And it's his teammates faults that his pocket was picked and that he threw two passes into congest traffic, one of them on a play with two players WIDE open on the arc.

His defense has been good? He's stayed in front of his man on one play the entire game and flopped to get the offensive foul.
